Welcome again to everybody. Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.

☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive, libgen
I spoke to a Coptic priest and he said that Copts support Palestine. Good to know that middle eastern christians do support Palestine
“My world systems theory analysis says you should just give up, never try at anything and accept neoliberalism because hegemony means literally the Orwell quote. Accept it, tankie, communism has been mathematically disproven” (bullshit)
How the fuck do these people get up in the morning and actually think anything? How does someone with a worldview like that not just turn into a soulless husk? I dunno. Is this a new social tactic that feds spinned up in the 90s and are rebooting?
(quote in reference:)

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever” - after growing up in England
I wish US leaders have also internalized that, they will fail so miserably.
i thought mathenanatics is the number thing, how would calculating communism work
/j i am joking i mean
it’s quite disappointing that he would sign something like that
“The Salafist Social Republic has opened trade negotiations with Sweden for returning immigrant asylum claims and mining rights in exchange for billions of dollars. Israel has taken Golan to Al Bukamal and the government has yet to comment. Four new U.S military bases have been planned in the region.”
Sounds about right?
Hey but in theory Syria is free. Free to give away their country for sure.
I had been feeling fatigued for a while now and some days ago I remembered I didn’t take vitamin B supplements for a while now. I eat plant based and usually I get enough out of my food but it doesn’t hurt to take some in a while.
Anyway I have been taking them for a few days now and I honestly feel better lol. Check your vitamins these dark days y’all.
Reaching Christmas period and today I felt like putting on just a fall jacket. Like it was 13 degree Celsius man what the fuck lol. There was a strong wind which just felt like a warm hair dryer. I have flowers that are starting to grow on my balcony. Climate change is no joke.
Christmas shopping when you’re almost broke is not fun
First world problems but I have it reversed for the first time now where my family is doing pretty well. Now my brother’s partner came in with a big ass bag of presents. Must have been 15 or something. I immediately felt pressured to buy a lot of shit but I had no idea what. Figured I might as well just give one more expensive but sustainable gift for everyone. Doesn’t help that the people I celebrate with probably already have everything they need. It’s just wants at this point and tbh their wants are kinda trash lol.
Why can’t we just, idk, buy something simple instead of increasingly trying to impress others.

Ive been struggling to find motivation to do things. The urge to fall into escapism is really strong lately. But i know ill be happier later if i dont waste my limited free time doing that.
Hello, all!

I don’t think I am in a doomer fase but I do feel pessimistic I guess.
There’s just a large discrepancy between my life passions and constantly being politically active. I don’t like politics. I don’t like being politically active. I like gardening, nature, bird watching, working out, etc. Instead I find myself trying to convince people we should not let some few rich losers destroy our world.
Just ranting I guess but I often find myself asking what I’m doing with my life these days.
I struggle with a similar thing. Its hard. I am just a little ape who wants to have fun why do i have to be worried about other dumb apes destroying the entire world? Its like we are the constant victims of some horrible crime that most people act as if they don’t see.
Best to take frequent breaks.
Force yourself. Forcing yourself is what self-care is all about. I know people laugh off self-care, but you have to force yourself. Self-care involves giving yourself the benefit of doubt.
Feel the same, would like to just go party, listen to music, hike and play sports and board games but all this political stuff I do mostly because I feel the need to do something
hello everyone, nice to meet you all
yo
